Gameplay

Early-Game

Jax can do well solo or duo-lane, with most any partner. However, he sure loves a good harasser! Teemo and Leona in particular are fun to lane with. With Leap Strike and a good partner, First Blood is not only possible, but likely! See if you can nab it without dying, then settle down and grind out some minion waves.

Don't push the tower; just sit there and last-hit with your lamp.

Mid-Game

Mid-game begins for Jax once he's farmed 4,000 Gold! With his completed core build, take people out left and right, win teamfights, push turrets, and induce despair on your opponents!

Late-Game

Once you've got The Bloodthirster (or two) and maybe a Guardian Angel, you're a monster. Let your teammates initiate fights, then systematically pick off the foes from least-squishy to most.
Push to the Nexus and leave rubble in your wake!

In reference to my comment in the Pros section, here are final scores from two random-select games i that queued up, both of which were feedfests in the other team's favor:

You can do well even if your team is being obliterated!

Of course, when you're playing with friends, good things tend to happen:

Summary

Personally, I thrive when playing ranged champions like Teemo, Kayle, or Fiddlesticks. However, there's something I find something irresistible about Jax; it's difficult to define. When fighting from afar, there's a sense of detachment.
With Jax, you're up in people's faces, beating 'em down with your lamp!
